4·1 month agoWhy don’t we take care of each other as decent people? Why do we have to decide who is more worthy? We have too many money-grubbing billionaires. Maybe if we watched out for each other, we wouldn’t have to worry about what the other guy is doing.
Maybe it wouldn’t work, but it would be nice to try. Look what happened in 1914:
It’s yo’ fridge
Do what you wanna do.
I ain’t gonna tell you
How to stock it, too.
6·2 months agoJust as there are Americans who are not enamored with Trump who are not getting the media spotlight, there are Christians reacting negatively. But the media is focusing on the Maga Nationalist Christians. It’s simply more profitable to focus on the extremists.
Here are some examples that the media has only touched on lightly.
“While I’m at it, I’m going to say what I feel right here. I wish the president of the United States would clean up his language. I wish he would stop insulting people. A leader should not give himself to insulting people all the time, and using foul language. And while I’m at it, I’m going to finish: everybody in the White House cusses except two women that say they are born again. But they’re all foul mouthed. Let me tell you what the Bible says: “From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Listen, don’t you dare get being conservative mixed up with being a Christian. Conservative does not mean Christian. You can be pro-life, you can be pro-Biblical family, you can be pro-Israel and die and go to Hell. You can be all of that stuff and that does not make you a Christian. Folks, I am a Christian. I am not a white Christian. You’re not a black Christian. I’m not in a white evangelical movement. There’s no such thing as a black church. We are one in Christ. There is neither male nor female. There is neither black, or white, or slave, or poor. We are all one in Jesus Christ. No! Go ahead and praise the Lord! Don’t talk about the people that represent you. They don’t represent me.”

John Piper Under Fire for Referring to Trump’s Re-Election as an ‘Evil’
NOV 7, 2024
He criticized Donald Trump and the Southern Baptist Convention’s response to a sexual abuse crisis. Then he found himself on the outside.
Who is he? Russell Moore was one of the top officials in the Southern Baptist Convention.

During his Sunday sermon, Pastor James Rigby who leads St. Andrew’s Presbyterian in Austin, he noted that people have “mixed feelings” about the shooting but affirmed, “It’s really really important if we are going to be the healing agents of the world to realize that violence is not going to get rid of the problem that we have.”
“I said last week, if violence could have gotten rid of racism, the Civil War would have worked,” he continued. “But if you look at the Bible Belt and the heart of the MAGA movement, it is the Confederacy. The America they want to get back to is the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America.”
The pastor further stressed that “It’s very important that even as we fight for justice, even as we protect each other from this fascistic movement, that we not do to them what they’re doing to the rest of us.

The Bishop of Palm Beach Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez wrote on X on Thursday: “The renewed attacks directed by President Trump against our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, are entirely inconsistent with the Pope’s longstanding witness to justice, peace, and the dignity of every human person.”
Rodríguez has previously criticized Trump’s immigration rhetoric and policies

“I think a lot of moderates, a lot of centrist Republicans and Democrats, are saying, ‘This is not right,‘” Hamilton told Religion News Service. “Whether it’s how we treat immigrants and making people afraid in our own borders, or the rhetoric that comes out of Washington, or cutting programs like SNAP and other programs that affect low-income children and families in America, I think there’s a lot of pastors and a lot of Christians who have just said, ‘This is not us.’”

Edit: inserting dates so that you can see it’s not all recent, but has been going on for years. Yes, I did focus on a lot of the recent ones. And this is not all, I simply got tired of typing. It’s tiring reporting on what the media resists reporting.
Strait of Economic Infarction.
Epstein (at the time) owned Great Saint James Island and Little Saint James Island
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15%2F18.30707%2F-64.82054
According to Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_James
In March 2022, Little St. James and the neighboring Great St. James were listed at $125 million. A lawyer for Epstein’s estate stated that the money obtained from the sale would be used to settle a number of lawsuits. Bespoke Real Estate, the agency jointly overseeing the sale, stated that further information on the listing was only available to prospective buyers.[21][22]
In May 2023, billionaire Stephen Deckoff, under his firm SD Investments, announced the acquisition of the Great St. James and Little St. James islands for $60 million.[23][24]

The other Indians are also probably more interested in Cricket than this.
The question is, “Will he continue voting for the party that did this, despite ‘not supporting Trump’”
Because the moderate Republicans are leaving the government, and it’s the MAGA Republicans that remain. For example, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis voted against the BBB, but then made the announcement that he would not be running for re-election. And why? The Super PACs would have punished him.
Noem declined to say whether she supported actually taking that step and said Trump would make any decision.
“This is something that’s not in my purview to weigh in on,” she said. “This is the president’s prerogative to pursue, and he has not indicated to me that he will or will not be taking that action.”
Since you don’t believe that, I suppose you won’t believe the article where he’s changed his mind.

" to raise the tax rate on the highest earners and the other to close the so-called carried interest loophole, according to a Republican leadership source, as well as two other GOP sources familiar with the call."
To try to get Democrats on board? Or if the Dems vote against it, to use as campaign fodder?
That’s what I thought, too, But according to that law firm’s (https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/) article,
While the Amendment’s drafters spilled extra ink ensuring that someone who is elevated to the Presidency for more than two years of another President’s term due to that other President’s death or removal from office, it does nothing to clarify that one who is elected twice cannot rise to the Presidency again. In short, if the 22nd Amendment’s purpose was to ensure that there was a 10 year maximum on service for anyone regardless of how they became President, it could have said so.
and with our Supreme Court in his pocket…

It all comes down to their specialty, right?
If they’re moving product, you’ve got The Black Orchard (the growers) or The Phantom Crucible (the mad scientists). If it’s a white-collar price cartel just chasing dollar signs, you want something like The Thorned Veil for that elegant, deceptive front, or The Broken Halo Network for a gritty, fallen-from-grace feel.
But if they’re a territorial cartel? The kind where crossing a border gets you killed? Go with The Crimson Ledger—where every debt is settled in blood. Or The Ashen Wolves, because they will straight-up burn down your business if you trespass
